    Did Dirrell and Ward ever face each other in the amatuers?

    Not sure, they look like pretty close freinds judging by the fight camp 360 though

    No they didn't. That was actually the point in them campaigning in separate weight-classes for the Olympics so they could avoid each other and both qualify.

    Ward moved up to 175 so he didn't have to whip Dirrell's ass. And Ward still won a Gold.

    I doubt it. Bradley was a welterweight, Berto was a middleweight. He's cut way down to fight in the pros, but was at 165 as an amateur.

    178, but the rest is correct. They DID spar. Ward had no problem with Dirrell. I have good reason to believe they will not be fighting each other in the pros either.

    Oh. I could've sworn I heard some commentators speaking of that before one of Bradley's pro matches. I'm pretty sure Berto and Bradley fought in AMS but I could be wrong.

    Isn't Ward-Dirrell scheduled for the next stage of the Super Six?

    They're fighting each other in stage 3 of the Super Six Tournament, you idiot.

    I understand that they are SCHEDULLED to fight, but I still have good reason to believe it won't happen. We shall see.

    No, you're illogical and stupid. All three matches for stage 3 have been contractually set; Ward-Dirrell not happening would mean that the other two fights (Froch-Abraham; Kessler-Green) couldn't happen either. :roll:
